The teams of India and Australia will now face each other in the Boxing Day Test match to be played in Melbourne. After the Gaba Test is drawn, both the teams will take the field with the intention of gaining lead through the Melbourne Test. Dealing with Indian legend Jasprit Bumrah will again prove to be a big headache for the Australian batsmen. At the same time, Indian bowlers will once again face the challenge of Australia's powerful batsman Travis Head. However, before the Melbourne Test, Team India's fast bowler Akash Deep has roared. He has clearly said that we will not allow Travis Head to stay at the crease.

Akash Deep told bowling plan

The fourth test match of the series will be played in Melbourne from 26 December. Before this, Indian fast bowler Akash Deep participated in the press conference. He revealed the bowling plan of Team India. Akash said that 'as a fast bowler, we will stick to the same balls and maintain discipline in our bowling. We will bowl from both overs and around the wicket, assess the pitch and conditions and make a plan accordingly.

Akash Deep also challenged Australian star batsman Travis Head in the press conference. Regarding Head, who has become the biggest headache for Team India in this series, Akash said, 'I think Travis Head, especially, struggles against short balls. We will not let them settle at the crease. We will bowl in specific areas and hopefully force them to make mistakes, which will create opportunities for us.
